DIFFERENTIAL IMPACT OF BLEEDING AVOIDANCE STRATEGIES ON RISK-ADJUSTED PCI-RELATED BLEEDING RATES WITHIN A LARGE MULTISTATE HEALTH SYSTEM

Bleeding after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and cost. Transradial access (TRA), bivalirudin (BIV), and vascular closure devices (VCD) are strategies to reduce bleeding. We compared the impact of these bleeding avoidance strategies (BAS)
